Sir
In answer to your letter of the 21 st inst. I have the honor to inform you that the widow of a revolutionary invalid-pensioner would be entitled to a pension, provided it could  can be shown that the deceased husband performed at least six months service, and the marriage took place prior to the year 1794. In the case of the widow of Frederick Fisher ad , it is not stated when the marriage took place, and the records of this office do not show contain no information as to his service. He belonged to the Virginia Militia, and it appears from the letter of the auditor of Virginia, upon which his pension was allowed, that he was wounded

two bottles of at King's Mountain
Enclosed herewith are the printed forms and instructions for the guidance of widows.

Dear Sir
I duly received yours of the 2 nd inst & embrace the first leisure moment to answer your enquiries.
1. The pension now allowed Frederick Fisher was authorized by an act of the V th Legislature passed 30 Nov 1791 - That act recites that he had rec d several wounds at the battle of Kings mountain, and it refers to a Resolution of the General Assembly of the 24 Dec r 1781 - which granted him an allowance of £12. 0. 0 for present relief and a pension for three years thereafter of the same amount. The act of 1791 not only replaced him on the pension roll, but gave him the arrears up to the passage of the act.
2 nd ly. The pension has always been £12. or $40 per annum.
3. The payment through you of $120 was in full to the 1 st December 1845.
Very respectfully
yours,

Tullahoma, Tennessee, September 6, 1930.
Commissioner of Pensions, Department of the Interior, Washington, D. C.
Dear Mr. Commissioner:
I shall appreciate it if you will advise me whether there are any records in your office of Revolutionary War pensions ever having been applied for or granted to either Frederick Fisher , Charles Fisher, or Daniel Fisher. These men came from Germany to Philadelphia prior to the Revolutionary War. Frederick Fisher and Charles Fisher died in Bedford County, Tennessee. The D.A.R. has erected a marker on the grave of Frederick Fisher.
"Sumner's History of Southwest Virginia and Washington County", page 858, lists Frederick Fisher under "Washington County Revolutionary Soldiers" as having been wounded at the Battle of King's Mountain. Mention is made in other publications of him having been in the Revolutionary Army and as having been in the Battle of King's Mountain. Daniel Fisher's service was doubtless with Pennsylvania troops, but the others mentioned may have served with Pennsylvania, Virginia or North Carolina troops.
If there are any records in regard to any of these men in your files, I shall greatly appreciate it if you will furnish me all information given in regard to them, and oblige.
Yours sincerely,
Ewin L. Davis

My dear Mr. Davis:
Reference is made to your letter of September 6, relative to records of Revolutionary War soldiers named Frederick, Charles and Daniel Fisher.
You are advised that this bureau is unable to furnish the history of a soldier of the Revolutionary War unless a claim for pension or bounty land has been made to the United States on account of his services.
A careful search of the records fails to show such a claim on file on account of the services of Charles Fisher, as described by you; or of any Daniel Fisher.
You are furnished herewith the history of the only Frederick Fisher that is found on the Revolutionary War records of this bureau:
It appears from the papers in the pension claim, S. 20364, that Frederick Fisher served as a private in the Virginia militia and received several wounds at the battle of King's Mountain. The dates of his service, names of officers, and nature of wounds are not on record.
He was pensioned by the State of Virginia, from December 24, 1781, until he was placed on the pension roll of the United States on January 20, 1846 , Dec. 21, 1845 at which time he was a resident of Marshall County, Tennessee.
He died before September 21, 1846, exact date not stated.

He left a widow but her name is not given, nor are there further data on file as to family.
